1, On. 15 August, I discussed’ the ‘Berlin Cultural Congress

of bringing the continulsg Congress organisation under contro
‘and, at the sate tine, expanding it ints on effective anti- ..
communist weapons. fo :

"9 "Tp exreéased to :Hambléy our concern over the manner in |
which Charles A. Skegrs had condected bigself during the Congress, .
and Hpnbley replied that he had been eqvally concerucd. Eé said,
howevor, that while Skeges activities had ‘emused an unfavorable
reaction on the part-of a mmbér of the delegates, . thet reaction :

had been move ‘Airéoted against Skeggs persounlly than against hin. a.
as-a representative of the goversnent, Efabley agreed with my

suggestion that two bits of silvé> Lining could -be found in the ©

"~ Seeges cloud, namely that he had taker most of the opposition

heat himself, tims sparing sone of our other pooplo, and that

he ‘had condacted ‘himself like anything tut the "Polizeispitzel®

In fact.

i" Skeggs”gereral attitude was such as to“Gause some” ”
gates to’ disremexber that Skegce was attached to the -

‘a any fashion or presumably sudject to any discipline

at all.

3. Hambley, said that nost of the delegétes with whom he
haa talked were perfectly willizg +o ‘accent the explanation that. .

. "cautioned aeninet etphasis on Lasky's perticization. (Attachment A).

3. Fron the beginning, the hore office was cognizant of the danger of
a spotlight being tErown on any evert U. S. employee, and, in addition to.
previona warnings, on 7 April cabled apecifie instructions for the retire—
ert of Lasky to the teckground. This and other adnoz: itions, fron the home
(office and the | :OPC German ‘Mission c aiel, will te fornd at attachment B.

‘a@ aarking, or at least reflectines "a. turn point of the westera counter-
attack in the cold war.? "¥orea,? Said the Eccnoziet, tage the fortune

. Berlin Congrose for Culiaral Froedon ,

1... ‘Yhon Mr. Stridling's chop requested me, at the pehost of

a cable requost of Mr. Hambley, to attozpt ¢0 appensa Schiller in
connection with his Andighstion fer the manner in which kax Tergin,
‘tha American Negro, had-bdoen handled in Berlin, Schiller reacted in

the manner described in uy carlier menorandus on this subject, which
‘was ‘on the wholo satisfactory. fe Nad since received a complete re-
port. froa ss. reliable and competent observer at the Serlin Congress”

which Iam quoting below: : Lod . ;

eS tom the sholé, the Congress has achieved some useful results. .
In zy opinion, the test thing about the Congres was that it vao
. held in Berlin, A Congress in raris, fa Switserland or in any
a : otner place would have had neither the aang political sigcificance
: ae : nor would it hava roceived the Sato cublicity. For the Serlinora,
; : a. ee. the fact that Berlin was chosen as the meeting place was renewad
. So proof of Weotsrn solidarity with their resistance against the
Rusoians, They noad- euch proof again'and again, especially ia
view of the fact that they hava a definite and justified impreseion
_ that the Bonn Governinent is not inclined to sanifest any particular
_ farvor ao far as help for the Zerlin pepulation 18 concerned.

“While the organisation of the Congross waa oxzcellont ao. far.

- a8 tha technical side waa concerned, (hotele, rublic meotings,

. Teceptions, press ‘interviews, ats.) the debatos of the Congress
-$00k place undor corditiona which shoved a conaidercble leck of
imagiaxtion and ignorance of varlianentary procedure on the part
of those responsible for the way in which tha buolnean of the
Congress wae trantacted. Skegga, Muhlen, ax _boncy are certainly
nice follows with tha beot intentions, However, they deen to.
hava had no previous exporience at all @xhow to run a conference,

co ALL delegates had boon asked to prepare papers on varioug

“subjects. It was-obyicusly impoasible to have ell those papers
. read. in tho public meetings of the Congreso (they vero mimeographed
‘ard will be distributed). It wan necessary to mke a selection of
“toples and.opeakere. The dest a: ‘thod would havo been to appoint a
steering ‘committee which would have made this riecesaary selection
with the maximum of objectivity. Unfortunately, thia wae not done.
, Enotena the question of who waa to ofeak ard how long wae decided
by Skegge and his. associates who did it ina rather arbitrary and
haphazard minker. To explain viatI moan let mo cite a few exazples;
First, the case of our friend, Wax Yergin. Together with Maz wa
--- worked -rather hard.on bio paper ‘(one ‘nicht we had no core than two - --
“ héurs oleep). The final product received rather favorable comments
from Hamblay anc Arthur Jchlesinger. 1 tried to mnxe Skeges urdor-
etand the importance of having Communist propaganda regarding the
‘Fegro problem ansvered and refuted vy a competent person who loa
Negro Nhinaalf.. Skeggs flrot promised mo that Yergir would have
fiftoen minutes Speaking tire. -dhen wo arrived at tha nesting whers
Hax-wis a@cheduled.to sceak, he vac tcld that he vould not got more
-", than ‘ten minutes. “ve vent to work again, and deletod some paseagus
- g0'ao to hava'’a ten-minute text. However, when Max was about to ©
take the floor, he was informed by Bendy that he should not speak
_. ‘Yenger than five minutes, As a result, Max got confused and delivered
-.. A Completely inadequate version of what he originally wanted to say. uu.
Similarly, Sascha Sclwars waa prevented from mking a report on the :
- altuation of the yorking claea in Russia. Nor did the delegate fron
Spain and the one end only representative of Latin-America to the
Congreso have a chance to epenk.

"On the other- hand, Koestler. @poke four or five times and there

“was generally a marked téndency to build him up as a kind of pragcentoer

Randi. He seems to have enjoyed “himself in the rolo of a, taok-naster

7 censoring. and lecturing the delegatos. Ao far aoe I gathered from aes
' eonverdation with Skeggs, Koestler waa given this prorinent place

: / os Dacause)- due to the fact that as a well-known writer,. his pronounce<

‘=. “" "mente were supposed to attract pablic-attdntion in a greater measure

-thaa apeecios “by other delegates. The cane consideration wao evidently

applied in the casa of : “{loné. . However, Sflone seaned to ba anxioue

to be as non- ~committal ae peesitle, quite in line with hie anbigtous

political attitude. while Skeges' preoccupation with problems of _

podlieity ie understandable, I do not think that the sathod of troatiag :

‘authore according: ‘to the aales of thoir booke ie apt to promote a :

lasting. cooperation arong writere, scholars, etc. Yor once, scholars.

a _ [8&8 a cortain moment, the debates tock a very anfortunate
a . _- turn. On‘one of the f-equent occasions, when Yoestler was given
tho floor, he read x. piver vhorein ha attacked Socialian in
goneral and the Brittoh Labor Government in particular. Considering
1) that eens 20% of the delegates vere poople who professed \
socialiat -opinione;: 2) that tho purpose of the Congress roquired
that a unity of all donocratic intellectcalo, both socialists and
Non-socinlists in the struggle against totalitartanisa be ewphacized
and 3) that tha chairsan of the Congress sa3 “rnet Feuter, head of
the soctal-denocratic city government of Berlin -- Koestler's attack
was absolutely out of place and sho:Jd not have deon made regardlesa —
of. whether he was right or not. Asa matter of fact, the paper in
question. ‘proved - that Xoestlor ig mistaken {n assuming that a brilliant
Journalist and a successful novelist 1s a0 icao qualified to play the
role of a philosopher, hfstorian ond sociologist. In addition,
mistaken statements by British Labor régarding the problem of
. Yuropean unity donot fcotify in w opinion the kind of vitriolic
all-out attack against the dritish Labor Government which vas made
vy Koestler who. seems to have forgotten, that, regardless, what one
- ToT may ‘think of sone ‘ef its policies, British Labor is today one of the ~~ ert —
. principal Pillara ofthe world denoctatlé front. : _ —_

: . “Evidently Keestlar's attack crovoked ducediate reaction on the
: uote part | of the Socialist Congress dolegstad, beginning with Reuter who |
Te . , was in the chatr, ‘In my opinion, this entire discussion was completely
we, unnecessary. The British conservative K. P., Azery, showed ouch :
better judgrant than Koastlar by atudfadly avotdlag fa iie pronounce-
ments, any eriticisa of the Labor Government. If an attitado cinilar ,
to that of Xoestler would have been adopted in the trade union field, }
the I.C,F.9.U, could not have been created. As in the labor novement,
_ the organitation of intellectuals for the defense of democracy cannot
be euccesofel unlese it to underatood that decocratic socialiom ia a
poverful {ufiuenca agong the best intellectnuala of Europe and Asia
~ and that, therefore, evetything should be done. te secara cooperation .
of all derocratic forces in eshte of all {doologtcal differences. I
wae rather astonished to find that Irving scermed to like Koestler's
discourse on socialies. I spoke “with. quite a number of delegates and

found that they dida't Like it at all. -

Otnstend of appointing on the. first and second daya of ‘the Congress
@ resolution Committee which would have been able to work seriously
‘Lon any draft ‘repolutions, proposals and suggestions made by the
-delogates, a dtaft manifesto and draft résolution were subsitted to a
plenary neoting which had to decide on thes within.a few hours. That
mneating appointed sone cornittces who had exactly one hour's tine to - |
amend the resolutions. Of éourse, fio ‘serious work of re-writing and.
complating the resolutions could be done under such circumstances.
You will notice that the manifesto treats the quection of cultural
freedom principally from the point of view of the Journalist and less
from that of the scholar and the artiota, At leaat this is my. opinion.

®I havo just finished with the press conference here at Preedoa

doubtless guch will be asker, But publicity won't hurt, and may — : J

~ think'he can ‘do a most aseful job with the press. Ihave. done ay
best to keep all such expenses down, but in the end this job will .
be more important than the expensive presence of many of the... .
delegates in Berlin. Do keep in touch with him until your departure.

"Qn the Russian matter, I think it would be an almost criminal waste
of opportunities if there wenait the strongest possible [roa-
Curtain delegation there on the platform in Berlin, Hicolaevsky
: anid Shub have’ come up with the proposal to smoke out the professors,
_ deans, ..acientists, poets now secluded in Western Cemnany; five or . _

be a most appropriate bombshell. -1f they +~ Nitolzevaky to give
_ them Russian-political-confidence, Shud to give than ‘American- |
. diplomatic assurarices.-~ could have a week together working out
‘* Pron Frankfurt and.Munich ten days or 90. before the Congress begins, |
this might turn the trick. J think that's the way, and probably : . a
the only way to-do it. God knows I won't be able to round them =~ ;
up. In any event, — although I have been reluctant to raise the
desue for fear that my motives might be misinterpreted -—- I think”
that, Shub's presence in Berlin would be of immeasurable value,
handling the radio and Russian angles; and he's pot considered there
another "American ‘outaider", Which is importante :

they would seize the “estern Eerlin government and restore ‘the city to

a unified, peaceful capital of Germany. The peaceful declarations have .
stated that the demonstration of 599,500 boys: and girls (from all over ~
Germany, and from other countries) will chiefly take place. in Eastera |
Eerlin and will consist of rally-sarching, sports events, fireworks, and
huge peace’ meetings. Peraission was requested ty the FDI, of Oberburger-
